Hi there, thank you for your review. I'm sorry the color did not turn out as expected and was to thick. I assure you this is not the experience we want for our customers. When color matching, we try to get it as close to the color as possible, and lighting and surroundings can affect the overall look of the color. As for the consistency of the paint, it should be creamy for a smooth application. Please feel free to reach out to us directly to learn more about your project and see how we can further assist. Our Customer Care team is ready to help! -Alex
